Cenozoic Era 66 MYA- Present Day
The Cenozoic Era was and still is a very new and awesome Era. Some know it as “New Life” or “Recent life”. The climate was very warm. It was tropical and dry. There is also Global Warming due to humans. The climate is what it is now also. If you look at a recent map you could see how the continents are. During this Era South America and North America joined. Also India and Asia collided. Also some landform changes were new mountains appeared and some new lakes. Changes to the continents and landforms are still happening because of plate tectonics. There were many animal and plants living during this Era. There were sheep, elephants, goats, woolly mammoths, deer, rodents, and many forest grew with many new plants. Almost everything you see today was there in the beginning. Animals and plants changed little by little but there was one major change. Humans arrives about 20,000 years ago! We have only been here for 200,000 years out of 4.6 Billion years! amazing! Nothing has yet to happen at the end of the Era, and there hasn't been an end of the Era yet either. Hopefully the humans don't go extinct! |
